12 My dwelling is plucked up and removed from me
like a shepherd’s tent.(A)
I have rolled up my life like a weaver;(B)
he cuts me off from the loom.(C)
By nightfall[a] you make an end of me.(D)
13 I thought until the morning:
He will break all my bones like a lion.
By nightfall you make an end of me.
14 I chirp like a swallow or a crane;
I moan like a dove.(E)
My eyes grow weak looking upward.
Lord, I am oppressed; support me.(F)
